       Taylor will be more delighted not having to referee Klopp again!
       Odious manager to have to put up with, officials must genuinely
       dread him, Arteta and co, knowing any small mistake will be
       shouted at or whined about in press conferences!

       as he thinks Areola is hurt and possibly concussed.  He dropped
       the ball and didn’t stop looking up, so Taylor within his rights
       to blow the whistle and avoid a potentially nightmare situation.

       I think Taylor would have more credence if he hadn't twice made
       the 'get on with it' signal and turned his back to run down the
       pitch. It was only when he saw the possibility of a very
       contentious goal that he blew his whistle and bringing the
       trainers on just looked like a fig leaf for himself.....and not
       a particularly covering one either.

       Bad behaviour and intemperate language towards a match official
       should not be tolerated at any level. However there is a place
       for robust criticism, respectfully offered, when a match
       official makes errors. When it comes to criticism there is no
       open nor closed season for match officials. Those of us who
       entered this field were surely aware of that and the higher the
       level then the higher the standard which should rightly be
       expected.

       I rate Taylor, and think he often gets some ridiculous criticism
       at times, but I think he’s wrong here.
       I accept I may be in the minority, but ‘common sense’ shouldn’t
       stretch to rescuing a player who does something stupid. It may
       have been seen as controversial, but having so clearly played on
       (and the GK clearly had the advantage given), it’s hard to sell
       helping him out when he tosses the ball into play like that. The
       use of the trainer to help sell it didn’t look good either.
       Often an outfield player gets a clear advantage and the next
       pass is awful - we don’t rescue them by going back; it’s just
       tough luck. GKs are no different - yes it may lead to a goal,
       but that’s tough. Pro players, paid so much money, should do the
       basics like learn the laws and play to the whistle!
       He got criticism for initially playing on / advantage - I think
       he was right to, as there is a push to keep the game moving and
       GKs continuously take liberties by wasting time / exaggerating.
       For example, where he dropped the ball for the ‘free kick’ was
       nowhere near right. The original foul was in the goal area.

       I'd disagree with this.

       The goalkeeper was on the floor for 12 seconds following the
       foul - it would have much more sensible (and correct in law) to
       give the free kick for the foul as the advantage hadn't
       materialised after a few seconds.

       I would say in this instance the advantage never materialised, i
       am not even sure the goalkeeper would see the advantage signal
       from his position on the floor. I think he saw the signal to get
       on with it from Taylor and thus assumed Taylor had given the
       free kick hence his gesture.

       West Ham vs Liverpool: Anthony Taylor

       He may well have been better giving a free kick, but having not
       done so, I don’t think he can wait so long and then go back,
       just because the player makes a blunder.
       The GK being on the ground for 12 secs isn’t an issue - they
       often do that these days to waste time (exactly what refs this
       year have been told to clamp down on).
       It’s difficult to justify no advantage occurred. He has the ball
       in hand, no opponent anywhere near. If he’s injured, he should
       just make a clear signal so ref can stop play (or throw the ball
       out, to be returned later). In this case, for me, he messed up
       and it’s tough luck.
